“Private landlords in and around the Maidstone area play an important role in helping us to resolve people’s housing needs.  We are encouraging landlords who are interested in the scheme to contact MBC to find out more about the project.”

Maidstone council will carry out an inspection of each property with landlords prior to each let to ensure safety standards have been met and will also require safety certificates EICR /GAS Safe and EPC for each property.

Council officers will match the most suitable prospective tenant to the property and support them throughout their tenancy.
